When Doc Holiday is dying (in Tombstone) he asks Wyatt what he wants. Wyatt replies "A normal life". Doc tells him "there's no such thing as ' a normal life'--there's just life".

Guess I don't have the quote quite right but we all get the idea. RIGHT?

It should be: "Badges? We ain got no badges. We dun need no badges. I dun have to show you any steekin badges!!" Still love the movie and I use garbled version constantly.

Ugh. Pick you feet in Poughkeepsie??? Was that really in a movie. How gross.

Being a Mel Brooks Fan, and since he's my cousin, I say it is:

"It's great to be the King!!!

Oh, **** Boy, Oh, **** Boy!! "

Remember that, History of the World Part I, he never wrote Part II and I was very disappointed.

Another Linda:

To me, that whole beach village attack was a 15 minute recap of the Vietnam war; it was like it was written in Hollywood by John Wayne and Elmer Fudd.

I personally water skied the Mekong River and had to stay on the near side bank because the other bank was VC territory (and deforested by Agent Orange) and dodged floating mines doing it - water skiing; swam in the Saigon Headquarters command recreational pool and stayed off the high dive platform because of the VC snipers. There was a rec center golf course where some of the holes were off limits because they were VC territory - who could make this up but Hollywood?

[another Linda]

Chuck -- Unreal! I'm a former Army nurse and my husband a former Army doc. We had easy assignments. I should say physically easy and safe, but mentally something else. We were at the evac hospital at Brooke where we watched and cried and did what we could -- sometimes enough, sometimes not. And now one of my sons is an Army doc. History repeating itself.

[Taltarzac]

"He's just spittin' out words to see where they splatter."


Not familiar with that one, JohnZ. Had to look it up on Google. John Wayne as Ranger Jake Cutter in 1961's The Comancheros?

[JohnZ]

You're correct Tal.....and it's a cool movie line. Appropeaux for some posts online.

Chuckinca: After I read your last post on this thread, the term "water hazard" took on a whole new meaning. Did anyone ever play the off-limits holes? I'd up for that just for kicks and giggles.....it would be an interesting spectacle knocking it on the greens if they were mined. Snipers? No stress putting out huh?

[Taltarzac]

Brandon De Wilde was critically injured in a traffic accident in the Denver suburb of Lakewood on the evening of July 6, 1972, while en route to perform in the play, Butterflies Are Free. Swerving to avoid another vehicle, he struck a construction trailer parked on the side of the road, and was pinned under the wreckage of his motorcycle for some time before being taken to Denver General Hospital. He died four hours later. He was 30 years old.

RIP Brandon, you are missed.

Interesting information, Chuckinca. On a sunnier note, which stars have people seen in plays like this. I mean where you can get a good look at the person performing and are not in a very large auditorium which kind of detracts from the personal connection to the performer? I remember seeing a 10 or so year old Christian Slater in a performance of the Music Man in downtown Reno theater which was not all that large as such theaters go in bigger cities.

The boy was Brandon DeWilde. He was cute, alright. All the movie quotes are good. I'd like to add although it doesn't apply to the subject, one I loved was from a James Patterson audio book, which title I can't remember. If anyone remembers it, it was originally spoken by Will Rogers (I see his image on this Forum):
"Never pass up a good chance to shut up". The way it was spoken by Keith David was with perfect expression.

I think the quote was "Have you ever picked your toenails in Poughkeepsie?" But I'm not sure.


It was "picked your feet in Poughkeepies." It was completely ad lib by Gene Hackman. He realized that the kid he was questioning was not acting scared enough, so he made that up as he went along. The kid was so surprised by the deviation from the script that he had a "terrified" look on his face.
